What is FrontRow?
FrontRow is We Are Social’s internal online directory of your region’s top creators & influencers. It is managed and curated by your office, allowing you to store and access tried & tested creators to bring your campaigns to life.
Who can join FrontRow?
FrontRow is open to influencers who live across the Middle East. An influencer is simply a person who is widely known for creating and/or curating content around a topic area, and as a result has amassed a number of followers and engagement on their social media content. They are likely to be foodies, fashionistas, travellers, photographers, artists, fitness freaks, or just super relatable.
What sort of assignments should influencers and brands connect for:
You can find creators and/or influencers from your FrontRow database for the following assignments;
Some information about an influencer/brand is incorrect. How can I report this?
Hellooooo Sherlock! Thanks for spotting that. To report any incorrect or missing information about the influencers or the brands, you can contact us on info@frontrow.ae.
How long do I have to wait for a response and what’s next?
We love eager beavers! We review applications on a rolling basis and are currently experiencing a high level of demand. We will contact you via email with next steps only if you’re application is accepted. We thank you for your understanding.
How many followers do I need to be invited to FrontRow?
You’re more than a number (of followers)! As we evaluate requests for invitation to the FrontRow influencer network, we look at many factors including number of followers, but also engagement, and quality of content and brand relevancy. There is no set cut-off and influencers across all tiers and categories are represented via FrontRow.
Why do I need to list my social media account URLs to be considered?
We want to see your best work! While we review applications, we need to look at your content and the relationship you have with your following. If you’d prefer not to list them, we won’t be able to adequately evaluate your application. The application to join FrontRow is optional and it is not mandatory to list your social media account URLs.

What is an influencer? Am I one?
An influencer is someone known for creating content around a certain interest or topic which has resulted in a loyal group of followers. For example, you could be someone who posts about their outfit of the day on Instagram or create how-to videos on YouTube. It’s not all dependent on the number of followers but rather the level of impact your content has - i.e. your influence. Other words for influencers are: content creator, tastemakers, bloggers, cool kids, etc.
Okay so how does FrontRow work for influencers?
If you're an influencer, we like you already. Simply sign up to get discovered by hundreds of international and local brands looking to put you in the FrontRow. Just create a profile, fill it out and wait for We Are Social managers to get in touch with you. It's easier than buying followers!
Can anyone join FrontRow?
Now what would be the point of that? Our directory is curated meaning every influencer that signs up goes through a screening process. Our expert team assesses influencer submissions on their following authenticity & engagement and content quality & performance. If you pass the screening process, you are then invited to login and fill out your influencer profile.
I don’t think I would pass your selection process.
Let us be the judge of that. Sign up anyway! You’d be surprised at the undiscovered talent that lies within the depths of Instagram - that’s exactly who we want to connect brands with.
How do I register as an Influencer?
As a social media savant, you know the drill: You'll have to create an account. Click 'Sign up' and fill in your basic info, contact details and social media handle. Once your social channels have been vetted & approved by our expert team, you'll be able to create your username & password. You can then login to complete your FrontRow profile and start connecting with brands!
Can I join FrontRow if I’m working with another influencer network?
Yes absolutely! We work with both represented (i.e. those with managers) and unrepresented influencers. We do not require any exclusivity or long-term obligations. You’re too young to be tied down (to one platform).
What do I do after creating a profile?
You did it. There's no going back now. Sit back and wait for the collaborations to roll in.
Who can see my profile?
At FrontRow we take privacy very seriously. The general public will only have access to minimal information, enough to find you on Google however, but will not have any other information than that. If they want to work with you, they will need to do that through us. Only our approved clients may see your full profile, including published rates/email address – so that they may contact you directly for potential collaborations and campaigns. Please note your age and phone number is not visible to any client or user.
Why is a complete profile important?
Would you ever publish half a post? Or only three quarters of a tweet? Nah. Didn't think so. A complete profile makes it easier for brands and agencies to find you. On FrontRow, businesses search for influencers by country, interests, social channels so the more information you provide, the easier you'll be discovered! Take a peek at our sample profile
FrontRow already has a profile of me that I didn't create.
Your reputation precedes you, it seems! No matter, contact our team and we'll have to restore the profile to its rightful social queen/king or delete it if you so prefer.
How do I get paid?
Ah, the real question. Long story short, compensation/contracts are discussed outside of FrontRow between the content creator and the client, where the adults talk. Think of FrontRow as the guy telling the friend that this other friend really likes them. We don’t take cuts and commissions - only make connections.
How does FrontRow contact me for projects?
Once a brand is interested in partnering up with you, our Influencer Relationship Manager will reach out with campaign details via the email address or phone number provided in your application. You can then review, ask questions and either accept or decline the campaign brief.
What sort of projects will I get from FrontRow?
The sky's the limit. FrontRow provides influencers paid campaign opportunities ranging from sponsored blog posts, product reviews, branded video series, event attendance, and activations on social channels like Instagram, Twitter, Snapchat, Facebook, Youtube & TikTok.
Do I have to work with every brand that approaches me?
Absolutely not! We encourage you only to work with the brands and on the campaigns that interest you and your audience. Turning down a brand will not hurt your chances of getting other offers. You’re an influencer, not a billboard.
If you’re not with We Are Social, how does FrontRow work for brands?
